trip report

A week spent in Snowdonia wild camping. Such an amazing area with dramatic hills and upland scenery. Didn’t want to leave. It is a shame that wild camping is mostly prohibited in this country. As usual it is a small group of people who ruin it for the rest of us.

Over the past few weeks I have been making the most of the warmer weather and clear skies by working on a new project all about canoe expeditions, bushcraft skills and the very best of outdoor equipment. It focuses on bushcraft island canoeing and setting up camp.

“From Lake Te Anau the Milford Road heads north with mountains growing on either side as it leaps from lake to lake along the Eglinton Valley. It was on this road, at a place known as the Divide; I would start my next adventure. The Routeburn Track in New Zealand.”

The plan was to attend one of those awful ‘work training’ events. You know the ones with lots of organised fun and games. My idea of hell. After the day’s activities (and a few pints at the pub) I managed to slip off into the night and go bivouac somewhere on the hills.
